After the gush of blood, I would think that the puncture hole would close up and not allow air to get thru unless there was something holding that puncture hole open, like a straw. ...hmmm...a straw? a knife? Eureka! How about a kinfe with a hollow-tipped point on the end that keeps the airhole open after the puncture is made? Kind of like the end of a syringe needle but bigger...with a user-friendly tigger handle and depth-cutting gauge for those that just can't bring themselves to poke a hole in their neck, or the neck of the ones they love. I can hear the radio ad now across small market America..."check us out for all of your self-tracheotomy needs...!" If there’s anyone that can make a better self-tracheotomy knife, it’s this guy.
